A father has gone viral after he fainted while witnessing the birth of his second daughter.
Maicon Pedroso was at a hospital in Criciúma with his wife, Mariane Felippe, as she underwent a C-section on April 18, but he fainted during the delivery.
The father was reportedly holding his wife’s hand when he blacked out, as a woman in scrubs tried to help him up. She and her colleagues then gently lowered him onto the floor as he lay unconscious.
Maicon later told local media: ‘I don’t remember anything at all from the moment the baby was born.’
The couple first called the hospital in the early hours of the morning after Mariane’s water broke, with the C-section procedure all said to have gone smoothly until the final stage.
Birth photographers Patricia Vogel and Viviane Borges, who were said to be surprised by the father’s reaction in the delivery room, later recalled: ‘When we arrived, they were a bit anxious, but everything was going as expected.
‘It was all happening in a light, calm way, with the medical team feeling very confident and the parents too.
‘Then, at 8.24am, at the exact moment the baby was born, the father fainted.’
According to the pair, Maicon quickly recovered and was able to be with his daughter following the C-section.
The couple already have an older daughter whose birth occurred without any complications.
Maicon fainting was said to have taken the entire medical team present by surprise.
The photographers told local media: ‘We’ve been exclusively dedicated to birth photography for five years.
‘We’ve documented more than 1,500 births, and this is definitely a scene we’ve seen happen a few times before.’
